Cover Me: White Rabbit
LA based singer Lauren Ruth Ward tries to emulate the pitch perfect vibrato of Grace Slick in her version of the Jefferson Airplane classic White Rabbit. Points for effort are in order, but it's actually more of a quaver in the end. A straightforward deliverance would have been more in concordance with her vocal range.
Live date:- 12/06 Los Angeles, CA @ El Rey Theatre

Marty Balin: 1942-2018
Marty Balin, co-founder of the pioneering psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane, is dead at 76. The band was at the forefront of the counter-culture movement, with their political stance made clear on their Crown of Creation and Volunteers. He left the Airplane in 1971 and later joined the commercially successful off-shoot Jefferson Starship. That band would sell tons of records but lacked the musical inventiveness.

Paul Kantner: 1941-2016
Paul Kantber, co-founder and leader of the San Francisco legends Jefferson Airplane, has caught his last flight. He was 74 and had been coping with various health issues, before succumbing to organ failure and septic shock. He was an ace rhythm guitarist and political activist, who (co-)wrote classics such as We Can Be Together, Volunteers and Wooden Ships. His finest moment is The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil, a slice of avant-garde mixed with psychedelic rock.
